Common Options
Telnet Com Port Cntrl
This field is available for configuration only when
Active
Connect
is set to
None
. Select
Enable
to permit Telnet
communication to the unit. The
Telnet Com Port Cntrl
feature is used in conjunction with the Com Port Redirector
(CPR) utility. (See the CPR online Help for details.)
Terminal Name
This field is available for configuration only when Telnet Mode
is set to
Enable
.
Use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only
one name. When this option is enabled, the unit also reacts to
the end of record (EOR) and binary options, which can be
used for applications such as terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Connect Response
A single character is transmitted to the serial port when there
is a change in connection state. Default setting is
None
.
Use Hostlist
If this option is set to
True
, the device server scrolls through
the host list until it connects to a device listed in the host list
table. Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any
others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll
through the table until it connects to another IP in the host list.
The host list is disabled for Manual Mode and for Modem
Mode. The unit will not accept a data connection from a
remote device when the host list option is enabled.
LED
Select
Blink
for the status LEDs to blink upon connection or
None
for no LED output.
Disconnect Mode
On Mdm_Ctrl_In Drop
Set to
Yes
for the network connection to or from the serial port
to disconnect (drop) when
Modem Control In
transitions from
an asserted state to not asserted state. The default setting is
No
.
Hard Disconnect
When set to
Yes
, the TCP connection closes even if the
remote site does not acknowledge the disconnect request.
Check EOT (Ctrl-D)
Select
Yes
to drop the connection when
Ctrl-D
or
Hex 04
is
detected. Both
Telnet Com Port Cntrl
and
Check EOT
(Ctrl+ D)
must be enabled for
Disconnect with EOT
to
function properly.
Ctrl+D
is only detected going from the serial
port to the network. The default setting is
No
.
Inactivity Timeout
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops
the connection if there is no activity on the serial line before
the set time expires. Enter time in the format mm:ss, where m
is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds. To
disable the inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
.

button.
